Are like a beautiful ending of a love story.

Don't belittle anyone,
Even a small pebble on the roadside has a reason for its existence.

You be my poet,
And I your poem.
Let the lyrics of our love swim
in your head,
Drift them to the sea of your soul,
And then,pen your feelings for me,
On a perfumed  page.
Script each stanza in melodic verses,
Metaphor me,
Personify me,
Alliterate me,
Till I am submerged in your thoughts and emotions,
Only I,
I your true love.

Says I am twenty seven,
But my body says,
Wake up to reality.

Is not easy,
You have to give in to your will.

I had nothing but hope,
That undying hope,
Pure magic.
I was in darkness,
I was bent and broken,
My difficulties had doubled,
My hurts had increased,
I carried my worries under an umbrella of fear.
But I have a stubborn heart,
I had faith and a basket of beliefs,
"No" word was not in my dictionary,
I started to live under the roof of hope.
My sufferings gave me strength,
My grief softened me,
My colleagues  betrayal wisened me.
I started to stay positive and confident,
I opened myself to criticism,
Above all, I infused myself to hard work,
At last my optimism  paid off.

I woke up tingling with arousal,
I desired ***,
My lover was gone,
He was married I suppose.

One to eighteen years,
Eat what your mum feeds you.
Nineteen to forty years,
Eat what you feel like.
Forty one to sixty years,
Eat what is good for your body.
And after sixty-one, sorry pal,
Eat whatever is served to you.

Candle- life,
Short wick-girl,
Long wick-boy.

Light- birth
Parents delight.

Candle light-life burns on fast or slow.

Wax- melts,soft with tears and becomes hard with happiness.

Candle- puff, goes out any time,
               DEATH.

I stood on the shore line gazing,
The vastness of the sky overwhelmed  my senses,
The horizon beyond was etched sardine silver,
At a distance I could hear the sweet song of the sea.
Rollers of waves dashed the sand,
Rippling gently beneath my feet,
Tickling my toes entangled in seaweed.
I gazed around in silence,
The  ambience was serene and magical.
Then I realised,
The calm, soothing sea,
Beneath me,
Was the INDIAN OCEAN.
I savoured its indefinable beauty,
Let its vastness seep into my thoughts,
The memory of it I shall always carry.

I am happy within me,
I am relaxed,
I am breathing.

He that gave me Faith,
Taught me the importance of prayers,
Showed me the humblest way to live.
In place of darkness, light he gave,
From him,I learned how to swallow my anger,
To forget and forgive.
He was my angel in disguise during my darkest hours,
He scared away the demons lurking in my nightmares,
He held me close when I needed him most.
He was kind and gentle but,firm and strict,
He was a stickler for cleanliness,
Spring cleaning was a groan,
Our allotted chores had to be ***** and span,
He checked to see they were done as he wanted.
You should see his face when we failed or skipped our homework,
He sat dejected in a corner crying his heart out,
Asking again and again where he had failed,
So we always tried our best to work hard.
His only weakness was to watch T.V. and play video games,
He also loved to pull mum's legs,
For us weekends were for outings after we had finished our chores and homework.
He was my very own special dad,
A wonderful human being I was lucky to get.

I was the soul,
He was the mate,
When our ship sailed,
High or low he was there,
Always at the helm,
To guide us through rough waters.

I was the four walls,
He was the strong doors, windows and roof,
He made sure no thief entered our house,
To steal our love,happiness and peace.

I was the tree,
He was the roots,
He held me through all weather,
Strong and deep in the soil.
We bore fruits ( children),
They ripened taken by others,
Scattered,
They bore new plants.

He and I,
I and he,
We got separated,
He got buried deep underground,
I, a walking stick,
Aged but still strong,
Alone but not lonely,
A will to live with happiness.

Comes many rewards.
And being hopeful
You see chances in every difficulty.

I sat at my dad's bedside as he squirmed and moaned in pain,
It hurt me to see him like that,
I prayed the whole night.
Then early hours of the morning
his countenance  changed,
He looked at peace,
Were my prayers answered?
Was my father recovering?
He smiled broadly looking at me lovingly,
"Dear the Angel Of Death has come,
HE says my place for breakfast at the table with God is ready,
It's  beautiful dear."
And breathed his last.

Eyes closed, a passing view,
Sparks flickered and grew,
A huge screen of thoughts,
Cities of desires,mountains of fancies aloft,
Sketches drawn, designs,nuances of the past,
Reel by fast.
I writhe, smile and sigh
As a story forms,seen only by I,
Loved ones already dead,
With some, friendly tiffs  I had,
Broken hopes,cast away wishes,
Some people I know,love and laugh recedes,
Bad omens, angels, fairies,slumber disturbed,
Little misdemeanours, reminices uncurbed.
I dream on,build castles of thoughts,
Sometimes I no nought what about.
And when I awaken,
All of a sudden,
I feel I have been possessed by a demon,
But fresh from sleep in the morn,
It's like I have returned from heaven.

Nothing to say,
Write a poem,
A haiku,
A jingle,
Or draw anything that comes to your mind.

If you don't know your value,
Try to sell one of your organs.

Life is a flowing river,
Then, death is a waterfall at the end of the river

She is the flower,
Who I want to see grow and bloom.

Although you threw me out of  your life,
You discarded me from your thoughts,
You squeezed me out of your soul,
But I, still rule your heart,
I am engraved in  it.
From all your  beats of the heart,
One beat is mine,
From all your breaths one breath is mine,
If  that one breath will stop death will be mine.

Lobby loob loob,
Went to the loo,
Shake to the right-sigh,
Shake to the left-sigh,
Shake, shake, shake,
Sigh- shake, sigh-shake,
Pat on the head,
Oh no!
Mum, my ketchup won't come out. 28/4/2019

As per the last will of my husband the proceeds of his new Mercedes-Benz  to be given to his beautiful secretary,
So I sold it to an old man for $100.

You don't need any reasons to be nice.
16/2/2019.

A New Year,a new beginning,
What's in store,awaiting,
365 blank pages,
To be filled with new strategies.
Forget the past,time to move on,
Throw in a handful of resolutions.
Dear God, present us with a perfect New Year's Gift,
From war we must drift,
All bad politicians You sift,
Climate changes we should heed,
Safety from nature's hazard we need.
Away with weapons of mass destruction,
Unity amongst every nation.
Herald in economic equality,
And do away with poverty.
Please remove our aches, bitterness and sorrows,
Instead,fill them with peace and joy for all tomorrows.
Make this year short and sweet,
Everyday, our needs we are able to meet.
Shower us with plentiful blessings,
So we wake up laughing.
Friends and foes,let us leave every thing behind,
Make amends with good things in mind.

Can buy you the most delicious food,
But not appetite

I am lonely,
I switch on the T.V.,
Radio,
Or open a book to read.

When you grow up,
One little girl said,
I want to be a doctor,
God will send them to me when they are in pain,
I will make them well,
I will try my best,
But if God wants them back,
I will make them comfortable for their journey.

Courting and honeymoon are lust phases,
When over these stages,
Reality sets in,
Don't give in.
The unpaid bills, messy house,
Bickering with your spouse.
Men! Don't look at your problems,
They will stick on you like chewing gums,
Find solutions!
Be on course,
With understanding and love your marriage hold at all cost,
Or with pity and remorse,
Take a divorce.

Raindrops, liquid drops
Rain, rain, as the sky opens,
Raindrops fall down to earth,
The parched soil suckles every drop hungrily.
Satiated and nourished, it brings forth new life.
Lush,green grass begin to grow,
Soft and silky smooth.
New foliages on trees sprout over old ones,
Drinking rain in gulps,
And when the wind soughs through the branches,
They rustle melodiously.
The rivers, lakes and dams,
Have their fill,
Waterways gush down to the plains,
Bring forth new life in all forms,
Lambs,calves,cubs,what not.
Young lovers,dance in the rain,
Entwined,lost in each others arms,
As silver drops kiss their skin.
Boys and girls,
Stamp their feet in puddles,
Shrieking with laughter.
Flowers in the rain,
Have their shower and drink,
Their colours become more beautiful,
They are happy, growing and fresh.
Pitter patter,splish splash,
Comes down the rain,
Cleanses,renews and hails in,
New life,new harvest and nature in abundance.

Yelling at your children,
Shows you really care and love them.

You are my moon,
That pulls at my heart strings,
And like the tides ebb and flow,
You make my heart beat fast and slow.

Cannot take the place of the
Original.

My love is like and ocean,
Deep with full of secrets.
Love me and you will always be exploring its depth.
6/7/2019.

You and me,
Our love deep as the sea,
Together,
Forever.
Hold my hand my gentle dove,
As we traverse life's journey with love,
Living, laughing and loving,
Every moment just devouring.
Enjoying the taste of ripe mangoes,
The tender maize and cassava as we go,
Feel the taste of salty air,
Us, a fine pair.
And as our steps slow and dither,
Our eyesight get dimmer,
Your hand always in mine,
We'll be fine,
Together,
Me and you forever.

False love is egocentric,
Comes with looks and goes with looks.
True love is based on spirituality and ethics,
It is trustworthy and noble,
Loves humanity.
False loves lack commitment,
Does not fulfill promises,
True love takes responsibility of commitments.
False love is infatuation, love at first sight,
True love develops overtime,
Overlooking each other's shortcomings.
False love is falling in love
with the concept of love not with a person.
True love leads to a healthy stable relationship,
Where their jobs, families and friends have a right over them,
It has maturity.
False love leads to anxiety,problems and too much expectations.
True love is where there is satisfaction and patience.
False love gives pain,
True love brings peace.

The best listener,
GOD
The best to answer,
GOD
The best to give,
GOD
The best to forgive,
GOD
Then why don't you knock on his door only.
Surely he will give what is good for you.

His sunshine smile,
Formed a rainbow across my heart.
I was unaware it had venom,
Till its fangs gorged deep into my soul.
I was battered and bruised,
By the storm of his hate.
Shipwrecked and alone,
I managed to swim to the shore of reality.
I promised my self,
Never to be prey to an enticing smile.

East -West,
North -South,
Everywhere,
She is always there for you.
Best Friend.

Is like a jigsaw puzzle,
When pieces of thoughts,
emotions and words fit perfectly together

Your lies and cheating habits has not broken my heart,
In fact I have become stronger,
I am learning to rearrange my life.

What did the ***** say to the egg.
I am Y,
I have travelled a long way,
Open up,
Let me meet your X,
They have been ordained a Boy,
So it shall be.

Let's share........
You eat the icing,
I'll eat the cake.

Go into the forest,
Listen to the beauty of nature.
The leaves will sing a song for you,
Whilst the rustling wind will break out into a sonnet or a ballad,
The trees will gossip about the good old days.
The onomatopoeia of the animals,
The caves will invite you for a sleep over,
The cliffs will whisper their secrets,
And even the rumbling, meandering river will have a story to tell,
In some chapters you will be mentioned in it.

There is comfort and togetherness in eating good food,
It makes the soul sing.

Words manipulator,
weaves magic to enthrall mass,
A politician.

Emotions,
Thoughts,
Words,
Poetry.
